CONTINUING DATA

This application is a 371 application of PCT/JP2010/055316 filed Mar. 26, 2010.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a pyrone derivative and a pyridone derivative, which are novel intermediates for synthesizing an anti-influenza drug exhibiting the cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitory activity, a method of producing the same, and a method of using the same.

BACKGROUND ART

Influenza is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by infection with an influenza virus. In Japan, there is a report of a few millions of influenza-like patients every winter, and influenza is accompanied with high morbidity and mortality. Influenza is a particularly important disease in a high risk population such as baby and elderly, a complication rate with pneumonia is high in elderly, and death with influenza is occupied with elderly in many cases.

As anti-influenza drugs, Symmetrel (trade name: Amantadine) and Flumadine (trade name: Rimantadine) which inhibit the denucleation process of a virus, and Oseltamivir (trade name: Tamiflu) and Zanamivir (trade name: Relenza) which are neuraminidase inhibitors suppressing virus budding and release from a cell are known. However, since problems of appearances of resistant strains and side effects, and worldwide epidemic of a new-type influenza virus having high pathogenicity and mortality are feared, development of an anti-influenza drug having a novel mechanism has been desired.

Since a cap-dependent endonuclease which is an influenza virus-derived enzyme is essential for virus proliferation, and has the virus-specific enzymatic activity which is not possessed by a host, it is believed that the endonuclease is suitable for a target of an anti-influenza drug. The cap-dependent endonuclease has a host mRNA precursor as a substrate, and has the endonuclease activity of producing a fragment of 9 to 13 bases including a cap structure (not including the number of bases of the cap structure). This fragment functions as a primer of a virus RNA polymerase, and is used in synthesizing mRNA encoding a virus protein. That is, it is believed that a substance which inhibits the cap-dependent endonuclease inhibits synthesis of a virus protein by inhibiting synthesis of virus mRNA and, as a result, inhibits virus proliferation.

As the substance which inhibits the cap-dependent endonuclease, flutamide (Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Documents 1 and 2) and 4-substituted 2,4-dioxobutanoic acid (Non-Patent Documents 3 to 5) are reported, but they have not yet led to clinical use as anti-influenza drugs. In addition, Patent Documents 2 to 11 and Non-Patent Document 6 describe compounds having a similar structure to that of a novel anti-influenza drug exhibiting the cap-dependent endonuclease inhibitory activity, and a method of producing the same. In addition, a pyrone derivative and a pyridone derivative are disclosed in Non-Patent Documents 7 to 9.

Test Example 1 Measurement of Cap-Dependant Endonuclease (CEN) Inhibitory Activity

1) Preparation of Substrate

30merRNA (5′-pp-[m2′-O]GAA UAU(-Cy3) GCA UCA CUA GUA AGC UUU GCU CUA-BHQ2-3′: manufactured by Japan Bioservice) in which G at a 5′ end is diphosphate-modified, a hydroxy group at 2′ position is methoxylation-modified, U sixth from a 5′ end is labelled with Cy3, and a 3′ end is labelled with BHQ2 was purchased, and a cap structure was added using ScriptCap system manufactured by EPICENTRE (a product was m7G [5′]-ppp-[5′] [m2′-O]GAA UAU(-Cy3) GCA UCA CUA GUA AGC UUU GCU CUA(-BHQ2)-3′). This was separated and purified by denatured polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and used as a substrate.

2) Preparation of Enzyme

RNP was prepared from a virus particle using standard method (Reference Document: VIROLOGY (1976) 73, p 327-338 OLGA M. ROCHOVANSKY). Specifically, A/WSN/33 virus (1×10³ PFU/mL, 200 μL) was innoculated in a 10 days old embryonated chicken egg. After incubation at 37° C. for 2 days, the allantoic fluid of the chicken egg was recovered. A virus particle was purified by ultracentrifugation using 20% sucrose, solubilized using TritonX-100 and lysolecithin, and an RNP fraction (50-70% glycerol fraction) was collected by ultracentrifugation using a 30-70% glycerol density gradient, and was used as an enzyme solution (containing approximately 1 nM PB1·PB2·PA complex).

3) Enzymatic Reaction

An enzymatic reaction solution (2.54) (composition: 53 mM Tris-hydrochloride (pH 7.8), 1 mM MgCl₂, 1.25 mM dithiothreitol, 80 mM NaCl, 12.5% glycerol, enzyme solution 0.154) was dispensed into a 384-well plate made of polypropylene. Then, 0.5 μL of a test substance solution which had been serially diluted with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to the plate. As a positive control (PC) or a negative control (NC), 0.5 μL of DMSO was added to the plate respectively. Each plate was mixed well. Then, 2 μL of a substrate solution (1.4 nM substrate RNA, 0.05% Tween20) was added to initiate a reaction. After room temperature incubation for 60 minutes, 1 μL of the reaction solution was collected and added to 10 μL of a Hi-Di formamide solution (containing GeneScan 120 Liz Size Standard as a sizing marker: manufactured by Applied Biosystem (ABI)) in order to stop the reaction. For NC, the reaction was stopped in advance by adding EDTA (4.5 mM) before initiation of the reaction (all concentrations described above are final concentrations).

3) Measurement of Inhibition Ratio (IC₅₀ Value)

The solution for which the reaction was stopped was heated at 85° C. for 5 minutes, rapidly cooled on ice for 2 minutes, and analyzed with an ABI PRIZM 3730 genetic analyzer. A peak of the cap-dependent endonuclease product was quantitated by analysis software ABI Genemapper, a CEN reaction inhibition ratio (%) of a test compound was obtained by setting fluorescent intensities of PC and NC to be 0% inhibition and 100% inhibition, respectively, an IC₅₀ value was obtained using curve fitting software (XLfit2.0: Model 205 (manufactured IDBS etc.)). The IC₅₀ values of test substances are shown in Table 1.

<Operation Procedure>

Dilution and Dispensation of Test Sample

As a culture medium, 2% FCS E-MEM was used at the use of MDBK cells, and 0.5% BSA E-MEM was used at the use of MDCK cells. Hereinafter, for diluting virus, cells and a test sample, the same culture medium was used.

A test sample was diluted with a culture medium to a appropriate concentration in advance, and then 2 to 5-fold serial dilution on a 96 well plate (50 μL/well) was prepared. Two plate, one for measuring anti-Flu activity and the aother for measuring cytotoxity, were prepared. Each assay was performed triplicate for each drug.

At the use of MDCK cells, trypsin was added to the cells to be a final concentration of 3 μg/mL only for measuring anti-Flu activity.

Dilution and Dispensation of Influenza Virus

An influenza virus was diluted with a culture medium to a appropriate concentration in advance, and each 50 μL/well was dispensed on a 96-well plate containing a test substance. Each 50 μL/well of a culture medium was dispensed on a plate containing a test substance for measuring cytotoxity.

Dilution and Dispensation of Cell

Each 100 μL/well of cells which had been adjusted to the appropriate cell number was dispensed on a 96 well plate containing a test substance. This was mixed with a plate mixer, and incubated in a CO₂ incubator for 3 days for measuring anti-Flu activity and measuring cytotoxity.

Dispensation of WST 8

The cells in 96-well plate which had been incubated for 3 days was observed visually under a microscope, and appearance of the cells, the presence or absence of a crystal of test substance were checked. The supernatant was removed so that the cells were not absorbed from the plate.

WST-8 Kit was diluted 10-fold with a culture medium, and each 100 μL was dispensed into each well. After mixing with a plate mixer, cells were incubated in a CO₂ incubator for 1 to 3 hours.

After incubation, regarding the plate for measuring anti-Flu activity, each 10 μL/well of a 10% SDS solution was dispensed in order to inactivate a virus.

Measurement of Absorbance

After the 96-well plate was mixed, absorbance was measured with EnVision at two wavelengths of 450 nm/620 nm.

<Calculation of Each Measurement Item Value>

The value was calculated using Microsoft Excel or a program having the equivalent calculation and processing ability, based on the following calculation equation.
